You can upgrade each individual component, except that all the components are low volume bespoke, so you'd save more money upgrading all of them at once by buying a new laptop and selling your old one. In which case, you get a more int

Sure, Linux is on many, many devices which have proprietary UIs. And there it does pretty well, because the kernel just provides generic functionality cheaply. It’s a commodity backend that could be swapped with another commodity backend wi

It’s hard to imagine the outcome will be as bad as our current trajectory.

Have you seen the factory that makes it? It’s a midden heap.

$111M exit on $35M. Seems meh for seven years effort. Were prospects cloudy? Better return over seven years for most employees (possibly even founders) working up through a FAANG. I’m sure YC did great, of course.

Is this Hacker News, or Slashdot?

No, this is just like the Space Shuttle and OceanGate. Surprises (likely fatal) will keep popping up in this rocket until the day it’s taken out of service, because it’s just thrown together.

BYD is growing faster.

Likely BYD’s BEV sales alone will eclipse Tesla’s this year. In the first half of 2023, BYD has sold 1,255,637 EVs.

Tesla relies on China for its growth, as well as a big chunk of its batteries.

BYD had an even better June: https://www.forbes.com/sites/russellflannery/2023/07/02/warr... . It’s now on track to eclipse Tesla as the world’s biggest BEV manufacturer.

Tesla holds special government status in China that other non-domestic car companies do not have.

Elon gutted infrastructure, and now Twitter can barely handle Internet loads. It’s one DDoS attack away from service unavailability. Cheap bastard.

Our environment is rapidly becoming uninhabitable though carbon dioxide emissions. Venus, here we come.

There is also a risk to disturbing the site. Sometimes leaving something alone is the best option.

This spill occurred 40 years ago. Humans are capable of improvement over time. Look at airline safety, for example.

This is a direct consequence of Elon gutting Twitter's infrastructure.

Why repeat propaganda like this? Elon is a compulsive liar.

This is true of any medium in any free society. The net has nothing to do with it. It certainly isn’t capable of interpreting some website action as censorship. It’s not sentient. And there’s no dynamic network routing/damage at play h

Why are centralized businesses doomed to fail? It’s been the primary organizational mode for the last 10,000 years.

You get an interconnect which is faster than Infiniband. I could see some people using this. They should implement ECC memory, though.

Domain-specific accelerators have always had their own memory. Look at GPUs. I don't see why a power user who needs speed would be put off by some DMA. Maybe Apple ends up implementing something like CXL down the line, anyway.

This is most likely escaped Russian wartime propaganda.

Yes, all problematic users don’t congregate on the same server. Problematic users can pop up anywhere. However, a server could fail to moderate effectively and become a source of misinformation and trolling. That’s the benefit of federation

And Elon wouldn’t exist without his parents. Tesla wouldn’t exist if George Washington hadn’t won the war of independence from England. Does that make them founders of Tesla? Everyone contributed, but truth matters.

Are you kidding? Without the founders Tesla would not have existed. They took the risk and had the vision. Musk then came in later as an opportunist. Definitions very much matter. Truth matters.
